Aspen Trail Painting
I came across the photo that was the inspiration for this painting while looking through some vacation photos from a couple years ago. Arizona looks so much different than coastal North Carolina that is my home. I especially loved the Aspen Trees. This is an acrylic painting sealed with a satin varnish. This is a one of a kind artwork. I always sign my work on the back and usually on the front as well. You will receive a certificate of authenticity with your piece of art.

Have additional questions?
I currently live on the coast of North Carolina. I have created art since I was a small child and won my first blue ribbon in the 4th grade for a county-wide art exhibit. I take a camera with me everywhere I go and like to paint from my own photographs. I have often stopped on the side of the road to photograph an unusual cloud formation or beautiful sunset. While some artists may view the world as ugly and horrible, I do not like to paint “ugly” art. I believe that art, like literature, should be a form of “escape” from an ugly world. I like to evoke a pleasant emotion through my art such as a feeling of calm or a happy memory. I also like to travel-I am inspired by colorful Caribbean sunsets, palm trees blowing in the breeze, ocean tides, Tuscany hill towns . I occasionally paint abstracts but mostly paint representational art using bold bright colors. My preferred medium is acrylic paint, but I sometimes branch out into watercolors or mixed media. My favorite artists: Michelangelo, Monet, Pollock.

Paint the Background & Flower Pot
Take some Turquoise and White paint and just paint the entire canvas. Now, you can paint your background any color you want, you can even make it a more muted tone. Let’s get that flower pot added. You can free hand this or use the tracer. If you are free handing it just grab some white paint and a 1-inch brush. All you need to do is paint a big smile and then fill it in!
You are going to need a Lime green paint, I used DecoArt Americana Margarita and Hauser Medium Green. Using the same 1-inch brush get both colors on your paint brush. You just want to paint the outline of the cactus for placements. They are all large upside “U’s”. Don’t forget to add some little off shoots too. Then just fill them all in!
Add some Flowers
Next add a line at the bottom of the flower pot and just add some blobs to make some leaves. Do the same to the right side of the flower pot. Add some dimension to cactus and leaves using the lime green. For my flowers I’m going with some purples and pinks. Again, you can use any colors you want!
Since I’m on a time crunch, I just got some color down by painting some big circles for placement. Remember, you will have the tracer, so you won’t have to freehand this at all!
Add the Details
Get a liner brush and some black paint and just add some v’s to the flower pot. You also will want to outline your flowers, cactus and flower pot. This is going to really make your painting POP! Get some pink and add little flowers to your cactus. Then grab some white and paint dots all of your cactus.
Whew! That was fast. If you want to paint this fun and colorful Spring Cactus get the supply list, tracer and instruction HERE!
